| And why? Doesn't have to be in this weight class.
Rashad is the one who is still improving and has the athletic ability to match. Rashad can also cut to MW sometime in the future where other fighters can't. Rampage seems to have lost focus and isn't getting any younger, while Forrest seems some what exposed in his last two fights. Couture has a marginal chance since he may get a shot at the title at least with a win over Coleman. The sun may have set on Wanderlei Silva though. | |

| Hendo not included due to leaving the promotion and this poll is about the unified Pride/UFC title and the former champions. | |

| I don't think Randy has much left in the gas tank physically. He can't even take most of these guys down anymore and that is a problem for him. Forrest is the only one I see who has enough room to improve and reclaim his title. After his last two fights, it is obvious Shad has a weakness and it has been exposed even more, even with the win. I grant he is a very talented fighter, but much like AA, when the chin gets exposed, everybody goes after it. | |

| I chose Rashad because of his renewed faith in and use of his wrestling. But I was wondering why Vitor wasn't one of the options. I still would've picked Rashad, but Vitor would've been my second pick since he's already scheduled for a championship bout. | |

| Rampage. I think he'll hold the belt before the end of 2010. If Shogun beats Machida my opinion might change. | |

| I rolled with Page as I see him beating Rashad, but in all reality none of those guys will reclaim the belt. If Page beats Shad as I think he will, Machida is a horrible matchup for him. And Machida will keep his belt in the rematch vs. Shogun.
Watch out for Lil Nog | |

| Possible title holders in 2010 are Machida and Shogun. I don't think either will lose the belt this year after the winner of their rematch is decided.
*but I did vote Rampage.

| I focused, in shape Rampage. But truly I don't think any of them will ever hold a belt again. | |
